Welcome to the fantasy throw down podcast bringing you the latest in sports news fantasy analysis and opinions don't forget the hot takes can have a sports show without hot takes these days.

What about hot cakes though? I want some hot cakes these days. What about hot cakes though? Mm, I want some hot cakes. Now here's

your host, ready to jump into the thick of things, Dwayne calendar.

Welcome to the show Throwdown Nation and I got to say the phone has been ringing off the

hook with people wanting to find out how they can add me to their NFL teams for my guidance on all things football

and basically every other sport for that matter.

Yeah, so that's a little BS, but you know who else is full of BS? John Gruden.

John Gruden, you know, I don't know how else to say this.

John Grun is running a Ponzi scheme with the NFL right now.

Because there's no way you can classify the Oakland Raiders as a football team anymore based off of what John

Gruden has been able to do in less than two months. In less than two months

the Oakland Raiders have gone from, you know, an average to, you know,

slightly mediocre team to one of the three worst teams in the league without question and it's inexplicable

to say that this is none other than a hatchet job to get as many draft picks as possible and just a sapping the actual willpower out of any self-respecting football player that's on his

current roster, defrauding the people of Oakland of a football team before they finally

move out to Vegas, you know, whenever that stadium actually gets built because that's a whole not of the debacle that no one's talking about.

You know, this is without question question one of the biggest travesties to happen in

the NFL in quite some time and you cannot say that this was not foreboding when Khalil Mac gets strung out for days, weeks, a month on end,

waiting to try to get a contract settled.

Reggie McKenzie in the Raiders, who is the GM until, you know, hopefully he quits out of frustration

dealing with this nonsense and just, you just quits out of or quits just from the basic premise of you know what the money's good but like I'd rather have myself respect because John Grudid is running this franchise into the ground

just for the specific purpose of being able to say that he built this team from the ground up and he doesn't give a damn about what anybody else thinks about it.
